The University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee connects its student parents to resources, financial assistance and a community of other parents providing support and boosting retention. To better serve student parents, the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee offers a one-stop shop for resources and peer connection in the Student Parent Success Program (SPSP). Relaunched in 2021 to expand offerings and the number of students served, the program gives student parents opportunities to receive financial help, access coaching and engage with other student parents to alleviate feelings of isolation and promote success.
“A breathe area" is how Manuel García, a staff member at UC Berkeley’s Student Parent Center and sixth-semester student parent, described the quaint center tucked within the Transfer Center.
